This guide is sponsored by Polk County Conservation.

Des Moines Mom is proud to partner with Jester Park Nature Center to bring you the 2020 Holiday Market and Craft Show guide. This year they are hosting a Virtual Makers Market. If you’re looking for thoughtful handmade gifts, you don’t want to miss it!

November 12 – December 12 | Virtual Makers Market

Since they are not able to hold the physical Fall Makers Market at the Jester Park Nature Center as planned in November, they moved the event online! The 2020 Virtual Makers Market is November 12 – December 12. They are hosting links and information for each local vendor on their website, where you will be able to shop from the comfort of your home or while you’re outside in your favorite spot! They will also be spotlighting each local vendor on their social media pages and encourage you to check them all out.
